Frances and I were friends and classmates at SHAPE. To this day, I have many wonderful memories. Frances graduated a year ahead of me, I was class of '73. Frances, Jill Horton and I were great friends during our time at SHAPE. I saw Frances two other times after we all left SHAPE, she stayed with us in Valdosta GA, shortly before she began studies at FSU. I visited her and remembered she had a roommate that built ships in a bottle. I found that intriguing, but never as intriguing and full of life as Frances. Sadly, after many more moves of my own, I lost track of both Frances and Jill. Until I started searching again, this week and found that both Frances and Jill passed away in 2019. It's been a week of reflection for me as I remember our days as great friends at SHAPE. Memories I will hold in my heart until I join them.

Today I received an email reminder that a year ago Francis passed away. I didn't think I wanted that reminder but I came to this site despite myself. A gift was awating. Here is this wonderful photo that captured Francis and her glorious smiling laugher! My hope is those hurt the most deeply from Francis'passing are healing and continuing to gain strength from her full and complete jois de viver!

Laura and Amanda, I am so incredibly sad to hear of your mom's passing! She helped me through a difficult time in my life when my husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I met her as a massage therapist but she became so much more. I have prayed for her every day since she moved. She was a special and amazing woman and I am a better person because of knowing her and listening to her wisdom.❤ She would often talk of you both with so much joy and pride. I wish you both peace during this difficult time. Sending much love to you and your family. I will keep you all I my thoughts and prayers.

A beautiful obituary for a beautiful person. Frances was my massage therapist when she lived in Virginia Beach. Such a kind, loving soul. I remember when her brain tumor was first diagnosed. I was truly amazed the way she didn’t let it stop her from living her best life. I will remember her smiling face and think of her dancing with the angels.

Very sad to learn that Frances has passed. I worked with her at Gentiva hospice in Santa Fe. She was such a joy to work with and I'm sure will be missed dearly by her family all those who knew her. Frances, you had something to teach us all about enjoying life and living each moment to the full.
Much love to Laura and Amanda

Dear Laura, Amanda, and family,

Frances was one of the first people I met when I moved to Virginia Beach in 2001 and I adored her! We quickly became the best of friends and later on soul sisters. She is one of my most favorite and inspiring people that I have ever known! She was so full of life! She loved color (especially turquoise and purple); gardening (she created beautiful spaces wherever she went) and she loved helping people, which is probably why she became a nurse and later a massage therapist (we met in an acupressure continuing education class). She was a true nurturer of life and she did it brilliantly!!!
She taught me so much – one thing especially was to be more assertive and to ask for what I needed. She was a natural life coach and helped so many people! She was passionate about life and about her family, her daughters, her clients and patients, and her friends! She just loved life! It was fun to be around her and we shared so much together! When she found out she had a brain tumor she did not tell me at first how very serious it was but it inspired her to do something she had wanted to do for a long time which was to move to Santa Fe, NM. In 2008 she did just that and was very excited about this new adventure. I missed her presence in Virginia Beach so much – she had only lived about two miles away from my home and when I would drive by where she had lived it seemed empty of that energy and light that she had brought with her.
Now she is gone even further. When Laura messaged me, I received it around 4am. After I read it I laid in bed crying and trying to process this information. I couldn’t sleep. I was thinking of all our adventures and travels together and missing her so much! Then I felt this soft white energy around my head and I thought maybe it was Frances with me. With my eyes closed I saw this humming bird outlined in iridescent colors – not solid but like the spirit of a hummingbird. Again I felt like it was letting me know Frances and I were both thinking of each other. To me hummingbirds represent joy and that is what Frances and I had so often when we were together!
Laura and Amanda, I will miss your Mum so very much – even although later on we were far apart in miles on this earth, we were close in spirit and heart – and we always will be. I know she will always be in your hearts as well and if she is able to, she will be guiding you and supporting you always! I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom and just know that she was so proud of you and all you have done! She loved her granddaughters and her visits with them as well! Frances had a hard road at the end but that is over now and she is free and on to her next adventure! I wish her all the best forever and I pray you know that you and your family were so loved by her! She has peace now and that is something I wish for you as well. I feel that love transcends death and her love for you remains always to hold in your heart!
Lots of massive hugs, love and healing energy,
Judy Settle
